SKF KM Lock Nut For Use With Bearing, KM 5

Securely attach your rotating machine parts to a shaft using this bearing assembly from SKF. It's a lock nut that helps lend a steadying hand to your ball bearing, keeping it from coming loose as it turns or in the event of heavy vibrations. For ease of assembly, you can use a lock washer (237-2233) to tighten the unit in place. An axial static load carrying capacity of 31.5kN means this lock nut can bear heavy loads without getting bent out of shape.

• Four pre-cut slots are on hand to accommodate a spanner for ease of tightening
• Light weight of 28g puts minimal strain on your equipment
• Reusable for convenience and to minimise waste

• Pharmaceutical industry
• Construction sites
• Marine engineering
• HVAC systems

It has a compact outer diameter of 38mm and an inner diameter of 25mm, so it's a good choice for mounting a bearing on a small shaft.

A lock washer comes with tabs that can be simply pressed into the open slots of the nut, locking the two pieces together.
